As long as he can still perform it like this, I don't need any (male or female) punks from X-Factor overexaggerating my favorite song.

I really disagree. He struggles with the vocals here, has no control over his volume, sounds nasal and flat at times and he puts on that daft cowboy accent during the some of the lines. There have been quite a few versions of Always this tour that sounded like this, I don't get why people say 2010 was Jon's best moment since 2002 while he struggled a lot less on the Lost Highway tour and was capable of pronouncing the words a lot better than what he does at Soldier Field.

Salaam Aleikum,

It sounded ok, i've heard worse this tour. But I have to agree with Seb here:
the performances of 2008 were better, Jon's voice sounded less worn out. He was able to hit the high notes better, I think even though Twickenham wasn't the best concert, Always sounded better than in the video posted above.

July 2010 and the South America shows were the peak of Jon's post Bounce voice IMO.

It's not totally true: i think that Jon sing much better strong songs like These days or Dry county much better during The Circle tour than LH tour.

As there isn't much going on regarding performance videos from the band (logically) - 2 days ago the German tribute Bounce celebrated their 10th anniversairy with a special show held in a huge cinema. Some very cool song versions were done:

Little Bit of Soul:

Little Bit Of Soul 10 Jahre Bounce Bon Jovi...

Prayer '94:

Livin' On A Prayer - 10 Jahre Bounce Bon Jovi...

I Believe (mix of acoustic and electric version):

I Believe - 10 Jahre Bounce Bon Jovi Tribute Band...

Last Man Standing (Box Set version):

The Last Man Standing - 10 Jahre Bounce Bon Jovi...

With A Little Help From My Friends:

With A Little Help From My Friends - 10 Jahre...

Two Story Town (acoustic version):

Two Story Town 10 Jahre Bounce Bon Jovi Tribute...

If only he could sing it like this again:

YouTube

Unfortunately 30 years of smoking has made the higher notes trickier to get to. Here, in 1994, the high notes are reached effortlessly.

This band is definitely better than the Bon Jovi Experience. Its a shame that they haven't got any UK dates coming up. Has anyone ever seen them live?

Yes I saw them twice in Holland - they are awesome. The singer is absolutely one of the best singers I've ever heard.
